Yep Keith, closing in on the big 3. I have no idea if that was a real GT40 or not; I didn't have a whole lot of time to go check out all the cars like I'd wanted to.

Nice read Tyson, glad everything went well n everyone made it back safely.

Sweeeeet. The more Legends the merrier. Once you get past the 110 class, they start requiring a lot more safety equipment (harnesses, rollbars, etc) so the 110 is a good target.

The Texas Mile sounds like a blast, Mike! Hmm... perhaps! It could happen in 2008. In looking at some of the competitors there, they are dealing with some serious speed! I wonder if they even have a speed class we'd be able to compete in.

I think I'll do it again. It might be in the coupe, it might be in the GS, or it might be in my new Prelude. I'm trying to get both of my brothers to enter. Open road racing is kind of addicting, but it gets expensive. Guess I better start saving up.

Yeah, I'm figuring that we could compete in the 150 mph bracket

Notice which car was the first (and only) street legal car to get into the 200 mph club? MKIV, baby!

BTW, we could DEFINITELY do this: http://www.bborr.com/

59 miles

1_Hot_Legend_LS · 09-29-07, 04:53 AM

Now I just have one question, what GPS system has a resettable average speed? And do any show above 100 mph? I have a TomTom700 and it will read current speed up to 130 mph but it don't have an average and top speed function on it.

We should be able to because my 91 Type-I Auto was clocked at 153.5mph by Florida Highway Patrol and my 15 yr old brother that was driving it at the time said that it still had a little more to go but he had to slow down to change lanes.

BumbleBee83 · 09-29-07, 05:14 AM
